March 2025 – Managing Health Through Culinary Experience
Chef Joshua Manny of RUI led a webinar on nutrition for families, focusing on whole foods and aging-related health concerns, also sharing some health recipes. He covered diets like Mediterranean, DASH, and MIND, and stressed the importance of social and mindful eating for residents’ well-being.
“My dad has been an Aarondale resident for more than three years. The nursing staff
is top-notch. They truly care about my dad and look out for him 24/7. Aarondale’s
modest size allows for a more personal approach with its residents.”
“2 1/2 years ago, my sisters and I felt it was time for my mother to move to an
assisted-living facility We visited 15 different properties in the Virginia, Maryland, DC
area. We felt that Aarondale would be a great fit. It’s not too big. It’s not too small. It
has a cozy homie feel. The staff are warm and thoughtful. The food is terrific. There
are so many activities that there were days which my mother has told me not to
come by…. She was too busy. How wonderful! It is so nice that she can spend her
twilight years in such a caring and fun environment.”
“Aarondale is a great community!! Our mom has been there for 2 years and we are
so pleased with the care and attention they provide. They treat her like family! They
offer great activities for residents! The food is fabulous! The facility is clean! This is a
welcoming community for all.”
“The staff at Aarondale go above and beyond when it comes to caring for our
mother. They treat her with kindness and respect, as if she were family. We couldn’t
be happier with Aarondale as mom’s assisted living facility.”
